I'd say the best and most worthwhile repair you can do is take it back to Lovecraft and have them remove their system from the car.

If you want to run a veggie car find a two tank system, learn how to prepare the oil and always start and shut it down running on diesel.

But, this is all my own opinion.

Welcome to the forum.
I REALLY hope you are not using veg oil with the lovecraft "conversion" you will destroy your engine in very short order.
the fuel sender is a little more difficult to fix in the wagon, but not bad. the odometer is extremely easy to fix... once you get the cluster out.
lots of help on both problems.
and if you are using veg oil in your car, feel free to go up one forum level to the alternative fuels forum for help with that on your car!

If you decide to get rid of the lovecraft kit, PM me please. I'm running modified versions of them in many cars now. The 240D I put it on first has right around 160000 on the kit running WVO/WMO.

Thanks!
